High-standard farmland is linked to food security on the one hand, and farmers' income on the other. At present, it is a good season for spring plowing and spring sowing, and Minqin County has seized the opportunity to implement the construction of high-standard farmland projects, asking for "benefits" from the land and increasing "production capacity" for "fertile land".

Walking into the construction site of the high-standard farmland project in Xucha Village, Suwu Town, the cultivated land is flat and orderly, and rows of blue water supply hydrants are dotted around.
"This year, our village has implemented a total of 2,919 acres of high-standard farmland, and at present, 28 kilometers of water pipelines have been laid, and workers are installing the first well, which is expected to be put into operation at the end of April. The smooth implementation of high-standard farmland can help the people of Xucha Village to save water and increase income. Xu Xingguo, deputy director of the Xucha Village Committee, told reporters.

In the 10,000 acres of high-standard farmland not far away, with the rumbling roar of machines, large machinery is stepping up operations such as laying mulch film and drip irrigation belts. Since 2024, Suwu Town has implemented 38,000 mu of high-standard farmland construction in 11 villages, including Sanba, Orange Trough, Chuanxin and Xucha.
Speaking of the "high" of high-standard farmland construction, Yuan Weitou, head of the armed forces of Suwu Town, said, "First of all, the implementation of field consolidation and soil improvement projects has reduced the land occupation rate of field infrastructure and improved soil fertility; secondly, it is equipped with high-efficiency water-saving irrigation facilities, and the application of water and fertilizer integration technology has been promoted, which has improved the irrigation guarantee rate and water and fertilizer benefits; in addition, the improvement of field roads can further promote agricultural mechanization and large-scale development, improve agricultural production efficiency, and liberate rural labor." ”

High-standard farmland is "built in three points and in charge of seven points". In accordance with the principle of "who benefits, who manages, who uses, and who manages", Minqin County strictly implements the main responsibility for the management and protection of farmland infrastructure, continuously consolidates the "farming" foundation of grain production, and makes the county's high-standard farmland "build one acre, manage one acre, and achieve results".
